May 5 WOMAN BEHIND THE CAMERA

Today Im answering one of our most frequently asked questions, "Who takes all the pictures of you for the shop?"

Meet Dee Shirley, my sweet mama, best friend, and personal photographer. She does so much for so many and deserves to be in the spotlight even though she may not like it.

She could live off meat alone

She has read every Karen Kingsbury book there is

She prefers the mountains over the beach

She should have her own emojis because her facial expressions are priceless

She sacrifices her time so Marqué can be all God wants it to be

She is a Doorholder at Passion City Church

Thank you mama for all you have done for me and our family. It is because of you and the sacrifices you've made that I am able to pursue my dreams today. Thank you for the countless hours you've spent taking pictures for Marqué. Thank you for baring the cold and the heat and listening to me complain about my hair not being right or the lighting being off. You are truly a gift to all who know you.

I can't wait to see what God has in store for you this year. Praying that He would continue to use you and your story to glorify Him and bring many into the Kingdom.
